"Toninho Horta has been a hero to generations of fellow musicians and a great friend of mine since 1977," says Resende.

Elegant Fish includes beloved Jazz standards by Brazilian composer and instrumentalist Antonio Carlos Jobim, "Amor em Paz," and "You Don't Know What Love Is,"  and songs by Horace Silver, Benny Golson, and Cole Porter, among others. An avid composer, Resende's works are among the musical selections and include "Final de Tarde," "Body Heat," "Um Nome num Barco" written by Márcio Resende, Cláudio Nucci & Paulo Cesar Pinheiro, and the album's title song "Elegant Fish." Of the album, Resende says: "Elegant Fish represents my debut in the Bossa Jazz scene. I interpret nine standards through new arrangements that I wrote with producer Sandro Albert, and I composed four original compositions. I am delighted to have special guest artist Toninho Horta on acoustic guitar and Sandro Albert (Electric Guitar), and Claudio Nucci (Vocals)."
